TOUR ITINERARY

Discover Istanbul’s sacred side on this full‑day Sahaba Heritage Tour. With private transport and an English‑speaking guide, you’ll uncover hidden mosques, visit the tombs of the Prophet’s Companions, and soak in the spiritual atmosphere of Eyupsultan, smooth, insightful, and hassle‑free.

What You’ll See

Yerebatan “Underground” Mosque
Step down into the ancient Byzantine cistern, where rows of marble columns rise from shallow water. Soft light filters through small openings above, creating a peaceful, almost mystical prayer space.
Tombs of the Sahaba
Wander among simple stone markers set beneath leafy trees. At each small shrine—Vehb bin Huseyre, Amr ibn As, Sufyan bin Uyeyne and more—you’ll pause to reflect on the lives of these early companions and their lasting influence.
Golden Horn Drive
As you travel by private vehicle, watch minarets and pointed bridge arches come into view. Your guide will point out historic landmarks along the shoreline while you enjoy uninterrupted photo opportunities.
Eyup Sultan Mosque & Cemetery
Arrive at one of Istanbul’s holiest sites, with its elegant Ottoman dome and turquoise tilework. Inside, join local worshippers in quiet prayer. Outside, stroll through the cemetery’s shaded paths, passing the tombs of Abu Derda, Halid bin Zeyd al‑Ensari, Cabir bin Abdullah, Ebu Zer Gifari, and many others—each grave a window into Islamic history.
